Siamese Losing Hair

I just noticed that Olivia has a 3 inch x 1 inch patch of missing hair on her front inside leg. I've never seen this before so I am thinking this happened recently. Has this ever happened to your cat? Should I watch this for a couple of days or should I call the vet ASAP? She is acting her normal self.

Sometimes cats over groom themselves and it can typically be caused by allergies or stress. Saw a few cases like this (hair loss on the inside of the rear legs) due to over-grooming at my previous clinic. Has there been any recent changes in your household? Have you been opening your windows with warmer weather?

Trust me, we have not had weather warm enough to open windows in this neck of the woods! And she's further North than me!

My cat Pearl who is a Lynx Point Siamese mix will also tend to lose her fur on her lower part of her tummy. When she was in last year for her annual exam, I pointed this out to my vet. She said she's seen much worse so she wasn't too concerned about it. I notice that it comes and goes. I haven't seen her overgrooming but I'm sure that this is what she is doing. She doesn't scratch and she doesn't have red spots like an allergy or anything like that. She is stressed out because she doesn't get along well with most of my other cats so she basically lives in my bedroom/bathroom area. Lately she's even been fighting with Ziggy and Sky which are the only two cats that she even tolerates.

I would just watch your cat. It may also be due overgrooming caused by stress. Has anything changed for her lately?

Thanks

Sorry I didnt reply sooner. Sick. In fact because Ive been home from work all week I've been able to watch her. She seems her normal self. It is red and drying up. She ate supper a couple of hours ago and now she is sleeping which is a little odd. But it could be because she was up most of the day. I have not seen her lick it and she has let me touch it (for a second). I will continue to watch her. I hope she'll be okay. I'm sick and now she's got this issue. We're a sad household. As for the weather we were supposed to get into the 50's and we barely hit 37. Grrrrrr. Thank you again. I will keep you posted.

She could have an allergy to fleas. Or, it could be her diet. You need to get her to a vet. He'll give her a cortisone shot to stop the itching.

I had a femal cat named Fred, adopted. We loved her very much. She had the weirdest habit, unfortunately . She was always indoors, threre were no fleas. She had scabs on her belly, well we could not figure out why. Turns out... she was chewing her nipples off. We have no clue why. She would only do it when we were asleep. Once we finally figured it out she died one year later. She was very well fed, just a strange girl.

Perhaps I should elaberat a wee bit on Freddy. She was a large cat and we adopted her when she was 4 yrs. old. She lived with a larger, agressive cat and a lovely older woman. I think she may have suffered from PTSD cuz she was bullied by the larger pussycat. She flew solo, we had no other cats whilst she was with us. She never really relaxed in those 5 yrs. LIKE EVER. Hey, we did our level best Can't win if ya don't try
